Working Toward a Common Goal The year's team was the best girls' basketball team l've seen in all my years at Southside, Carol Matthews, one of the co-captains, commented. With many returning players, the Sa- bre girls were experienced in working together and in developing a very com- petitive team. The girls were an encour- agement to one another, and they learned to use their skills to their great- est potential. The girls placed second in the Sabre Basketball Invitational, and won the 2-A S.C.A.C.S. Championship. Sherri Pless wins the tip against Forest Hills. What form!

Dn Thursday night of Christian Cup VII the choirs :rf Southside Baptist Church and Southside Chris- tian School combined to perform Ron Hamilton's musical, Born to Die at Greenville Memorial Auditorium. Several thousand people from many area churches attended and were blessed by the musical message. The Pep Band boosted the spirit of the team and provided entertainment for the spectators. I-.-. , As a special service to the teams, the Media Club videotaped each game. Some may question the role of Mr. Harmon on the crew. Sport - manship For the second straight year, South- side Christian School was able to host the Christian Cup Tournament at Greenville Memorial Auditorium. Gil- ead Christian Academy from Macon, Georgia returned as last year's champi- on. A strong spiritual emphasis was placed on this year's tournament. The Christian Athletics Creed and the tour- nament verse, Galatians 6:14, were quoted at the beginning of each game. On Wednesday evening, a youth rally was held with Pastor Brooks delivering a spiritual challenge. This year's special bonus came on Thursday night, when the 200-voice choir of Southside Baptist Church and Christian School per- formed Ron Hamilton's cantata, Born to Die. Over 300 people attended, and several decisions were made. On Friday, Alamance defeated Frank- lin Road in the consolation game, while Tri-Cities upended Stone Mountain for the Christian Cup VII championship. Southside placed Keith Coppins and Marshall Hughes on the second all- tournament team. Captain of the Sabre cheerleaders, Gina Firpo, was named to the all-tournament cheerleading squad. The Sabre cheerleaders also were awarded third place for their fine job of cheering. The Southside basketball team and cheerleaders were also pre- sented with the sportsmanship plaque. Director of the tournament, Mr. Ron Ellison, was extremely pleased with the sportsmanship display by this year's teams. There was no doubt that Chris- tian Cup VII was a success both spiritual- ly and physically. Christian Cup Feature 105
